Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 118 Research Directions
"We've been looking for it for more than half a year." Barbara sat in the driver's seat, "Is it really necessary to keep looking?"

Clint doesn't speak.

"Maybe you should try to accept that," Barbara continued, "we're all going to die."

"It's not a question of whether to accept reality." Clint finally stood up irritably, "It's about what we have to do."

"I don't understand." Barbara frowned. "What's the reason it has to be done? Why is it necessary?"

"Because she's alive!" Clint yelled at last.

"Why are you so sure?" Barbara was still puzzled.

Clint snorted, reached out and turned on the radio on the Quinjet fighter, and there was a seemingly disorganized electrical sound on the radio.

"Cipher code?" Barbara "Mockingbird" who has been trained as an agent immediately responded, "Whose signal is this?"

"Natasha," Clint replied, "this is the coded signal she's been using."

"When did you get it?" Barbara became serious, "Can you translate it?"

"This is a signal I accidentally intercepted two weeks ago." Clint's face was gloomy, "However, she changed most of the corresponding relationships, so..."

"You can't decipher it?" Barbara said, "Could it be that you intercepted other people who used similar code words? Maybe it's just similar."

"No!" Clint said decisively, "I am very familiar with her usual password patterns, and this is undoubtedly her signal."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But... I have contacted the headquarters, and they have not received any information from Natasha, so who is she sending the message to?"

……

"Clint intercepted Natasha's message." The captain looked at Tony's busy back, "Is it a message for you?"

Tony was silent for a long time, and said: "No, he should have accidentally intercepted the internal communication of Hydra."

"Can it be deciphered?" The captain asked immediately.

Tony turned around slowly: "Even now, do you still insist on that ridiculous and naive idea?"

"We have other ways to solve this matter." The captain shook his head.

"This is the best way!" Tony showed no sign of weakness, "Natasha is a spy! The best spy in the world! If she is not inside the enemy, she will lose at least half of her role!

"And now, what are you worried about?
"She is still alive, she is sober, she has completely avoided all your original worries, the plan is going smoothly, why should we destroy this smooth plan?

"Instead of thinking about these meaningless things here, it's better to find the treasure before Hydra, and everything will be fine."

"I just..." the captain continued after thinking for a while, "I just feel that something is not quite right."

"That's because from the past to the present, you have always been a soldier standing on the frontal battlefield! But a real war is far more than winning or losing on the battlefield." Tony replied.

The captain sighed and shook his head, turned and walked out of the room.

After seeing the captain leave, Tony continued to open the previous work.

It was a deciphering program in action.

"Are you still on our side..." Tony muttered to himself as he looked at the encrypted message in front of him.

……

"About school choice..." Valeria interrupted Colt roughly.

"There's nothing to say, just choose one at random."

"I think it's better to be more cautious." Colt ignored Valeria's attitude, but replied with a smile, "You can also discuss the residence after the application."

"A place to live?" Valeria suddenly became alert. "Of course they each rent a house. I don't mind if you want to experience life in a dormitory with people you don't know."

Glancing at Reed, who was still obsessed with research, Colt boldly pulled his chair closer to Valeria: "If you rent an apartment outside, a double room is much cheaper. Of course, the school dormitory Too."

Valeria glared at him, then pushed him away: "Go and do your experiment."

……

"Reed." Colt approached Reed with his own calculations and research data, "I saw that you mentioned a very interesting hypothesis in the initial report of your research... um, no, it should be said to be a conjecture .”

"What guess?" Reed looked up and took off the goggles, "Which one?"

"You once corresponded your, um, the abilities of the original Fantastic Four to the basic four-element theory." Colt held Reed's earliest manuscript, "Well, although the four-element theory does not fully conform to modern science, Or it can be said that it is a theory that can be said to have been eliminated by modern science, but in some mystic knowledge, they still have a certain status, and we all know..."

"I understand what you're thinking." Reid said as he reached out and pulled a whiteboard from the other end of the laboratory, "As I mentioned before, the changes brought about by cosmic rays in the solar wind are random, um, At least according to our current research, it is random, but being able to map our abilities to the four elements of the four elements theory does not seem so random."

"So, your guess and my past thoughts are the same. Maybe there is a factor that has not been discovered by us yet, which is affecting the ability of this cosmic ray to mutate." Reed said, calling out another factor from the computer. a document.

"What I said next, I hope you can keep it a secret." He said, "Although Pym and I have always been staunch supporters of 'science without borders'. What I will show you next, although it does not violate all of this , but it may well be a harbinger of the beginnings of a new theory."

"I don't quite understand." Colt couldn't understand what Reid said.

"Two inconspicuous little dark clouds in physics." He said, and opened the file.

"If the abilities of the Fantastic Four are separated in different cosmic planes, will they be weakened?" Colt was stunned looking at the results of this research.

"Yes." Reed sighed.

"So..." Colt hesitated, "There is indeed some kind of unknown connection between your abilities."

"Yes," Reed replied, "but even though I've spent a long time trying to find this connection by studying our physiological data and cosmic rays, the reason is still a mystery."

"But you don't dare to take the risk of announcing this issue, after all, it is a huge hidden danger for you." Colt said.

Reed nodded.

"Thank you very much for your trust." Colt said, "I think this will be a very interesting research direction."
